How to Use This Hye, Texas Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Hye, Texas. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Texas or beyond.

Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Hye.

Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.

Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

About Hye, Texas

Hye is a locality in Blanco County, Texas, United States. It is a small community with a population of 280. The population density is 5.0 people per km². Hye is located at 30.2424°N, 98.5700°W. It observes the Central Time (America/Chicago) timezone. ZIP code: 78635.

Hye occupies a quiet stretch of limestone-flecked earth where the horizon is defined by the subtle, persistent undulations of the landscape. It lies 18.2 miles east of Fredericksburg, TX (from Fredericksburg, TX: bearing 97°T), and is situated 13.4 miles northwest of Blanco. Sunlight here has a way of bleaching the color from the dry grasses, leaving the fields a pale, straw-gold that shimmers against the deeper green of scrub oaks and cedar. Only a mile away, the persistent trickle of Williams Creek carves a narrow path through the bedrock, providing a rare coolness to the air that shifts as the shadows lengthen. The land feels ancient and settled, held in a slow, rhythmic patience that ignores the frantic pace of the outside world, save for the occasional bird darting through the brush or the sound of wind moving through the dry, resistant foliage.

Hye remains anchored to its roots as a small, resilient point on the map, characterized by the enduring presence of the Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site, which preserves the memory of a presidency that emerged from this very soil. The economy, once defined by the straightforward labor of rural agriculture, now leans into the craft of viticulture and the careful production of spirits, reflecting a shift toward the patient cultivation of the land’s resources. Residents here maintain a pragmatic connection to the region, cognizant of the distance to the distant Edwards Plateau and the quiet, sequestered depressions like Barker Hollow that mark the topography of this part of the state. Life in Hye moves with the deliberate gait of those who understand that history is not a collection of dates, but a constant, living presence woven into the maintenance of old fences and the careful tending of the vine.

About This Hye Map Page

This page provides an embedded street and satellite map of Hye, Texas. Coordinates: 30.242424, -98.570029. Live weather conditions are sourced directly from the National Weather Service. Real-time local and world news feeds keep the page current.

Detailed location data for Hye includes the ZIP code (78635), telephone area code (512, 737), county seat of Blanco County (Johnson City), and school district assignment.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.

Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
